The Secret Saturdays

The most underrated Cartoon Network show from october 3rd 2008- january 30th 2010, this is show ran for three years. Oh my god i only know a show from the same year and it was The Marvelous Misadventures Of Flapjack.

The show has so many bad epEpiso and so Great one and the ending Was great and black monday is the best Episode of the TheShow

Again, I have been looking for animated series to favor. I saw snippets of this Cartoon Network series on TV a long time ago. Fortunately, I found this series on Amazon Video. Now, "The Secret Saturdays" is another favorite from Catoon Network.

The series is about a family of cryptozoologists and their fast-paced race against time to stop a villain from unleashing the power of an evil cryptid deity and controlling all the cryptids in the world. Zack, the son of the Saturdays, holds the key to the world's salvation through his ability to control cryptids. The forthcoming spoilers render me speechless, hindering any further elaboration on the subject.

In case you don't know, cryptozoology is the study of all the creatures from lore, like Bigfoot or Nesse, the Loch Ness Monster. So in general, this series, with its thrilling story and comicbook-style animation, appeals to me greatly. Once again, it's another favorite, and I'd love to see the show on DVD or perhaps Blu-ray.

Action packed adventures are the primary focus of this show. However, what makes even mostly filler episodes enjoyable are the surprisingly real characters, the strong family bonds, and the consistently well written dialogue and voice acting. Compared to many other cartoons, it actually covers quite a lot in less time. The huge plot twist at the end of the first season was cleverly foreshadowed and does a lot to elevate the main story, heightening the tension of all further developments. Though the last season was sadly cut short and still left me wanting for further exploration of it's intriguing concepts, it still pulled together a fairly complete feeling ending. When moments do get heavy, emotional, or serious you can expect them to be handed extremely well. Argost especially is a truly conniving and memorable villain, and deserves, along with the rest of this show, to receive greater recognition.

The best way to describe this show in a stylistic and story angle is if:"Guillermo Del Torro decided to mix he's trademark creature fascination with- elements from James bond and Indiana Jones with seasoning ranging from sci-fi and fantasy into the mix". The animation is the righ ballence of syplistic/detailed.(although more blurry backgrounds been more beneficial in the long run"ala DC animated universe") and the voice acting is neither too realistic to be unremarkable(like chi clone wars specifically Matt lanter's anakin) or so overdone you can't take it seriously(like ttg) riddled with memorable characters on both good and bad sides, surprising writing and good comedy and we have a cartoon that wouldn't be out of place in cn's golden age!
